washington - Democratic presidential candidate Kamala Harris has broken a record by raising $1 billion for her campaign in the months of July, August, and September.
The Federal Election Commission released figures on Sunday evening showing that Harris' campaign team and related groups raised a total of $378 million in September alone, compared to $160 million for Republican Donald Trump.
Since being named the Democratic candidate, Harris has consistently raised more money than her opponent. While Biden struggled to raise funds when he was the Democratic presidential candidate, Trump's campaign also spent a significant amount on advertisements in September.
Despite her financial advantage, Harris has not been able to distance herself from Trump in the polls, as they remain closely matched.
